Abstract
The consideration of laser-induced dynamic gratings allows a pictorial description of various, in particular third-order nonlinear optical effects. Gratings are important in different fields of optical science like holography, light scattering, acousto-optics and spectroscopy. The combination of these techniques with dynamic gratings and nonlinear wave-mixing effects has widened the possibilities of optical measuring methods and lead to the demonstration of new devices. We expect further future development in the directions outlined in the following.
